internet

Hi I've a recurrent problem with this. From time to time my internet use becomes disproportionate. I have been going to bed after midnight for more than a week now. I went to sleep at 2:30 am last night:emoji_cry: I was reading and answering tests I've tried several apps to block distracting...

I have begun the process of blocking all NSFW websites from every device I own. So far I've got installed 14 website blockers/time trackers to see which ones could cause relapse. Any recommendations as to what to do next?

4chan is an imageboard website that was started in 2003 by Chris Poole AKA Moot. It took inspiration from Japanese imageboard sites like 2channel. Originally it was a space for niche topics and interests, notably anime. People liked the fact it was anonymous and that the conversations stayed...

Porn is just everywhere and we all know that, but let's just reflect on it. I love anime. Anime (and this is gonna sound stupid) was one of the reasons that kept me going when I was considering just ending it all, even my life. I know it sounds really stupid, and it wasn't the main reason why I...

I have seen a few news articles recently about the effort to connect remote communities and cultures to the Internet. Often the subject of the discussion is Musk's 'Starlink' system which is supposed to be able to connect any location on the planet. Something that is not commented on is the...

Do you ever wonder why 95-99% of search results regarding [the detrimental effects of] PMO bring up a seemingly endless amount of pages on which there are articles and "research" that support and promote the porn industry, the act of masturbation and regular orgasms? These pages are usually on...

I started using the internet in the early 2000s. It was still a developing and largely unexplored frontier. People seemed excited and optimistic about it despite the fact that it was a relatively new technology as far as mainstream products and services went. [What is internet?] Cell phones were...

I have taken a bit of a break from this forum and have substantially lowered the amount of time I contribute to it because I find personally the more time I spend away from the screen. The more successful I am in my recovery. I have found one thing since coming back to this forum that has had...

A phrase my friend used to describe mindless internet / screen time use. He only goes on his computer or phone with a specific purpose then gets right off. I'm working towards that. Any tips or stories you'd like to share let me know. I highly suggest it, seems like a turning point for me. No...

Hi Guys, I 37 , when i was 16 , my friend in high school invited me to his home.he had a computer and he had many erotic videos in his computer. then he showed me one erotic video.i never ever had seen any erotic video before that. i saw some erotic picture in some newspapers and magazines and...

mine is https://longdogechallenge.com/ ,a nice time waster share your webs in here!

"I do not wish to be horny anymore... I just want to be happy." You guys might have seen this meme already since it's been going around for at least a few months. But I saw it for the first time today and wanted to share it with you, because it really resonates with me. Hopefully you will...

Hi everyone, new joiner to FAP. See my story below, not sure whether it gets read but its been cathartic to write. Keen for insights on: 1) how can you handle FAP / sex worker addiction while living in a major city and being constantly connected to the internet. Has anyone just gone cold...

My addiction is not just to PMO; rather, I am a dopamine addict. As a student, much of my day is spent studying on the computer, but I notice myself watching YouTube nearly all day (gaming videos, compilation videos, TikToks, pranks, etc), simply skipping between videos and chasing dopamine...

Worth a watch:

Gentlemen: This is my new beginning. I'm almost 23 years old. I have been on pmo since I was 14. I didnt have internet so I was not watching porn but mostly masturbating. Once I had technology I got girls numbers and snapchats and sexted through text and videochat. This has brought on a ton of...

weird observation - every time i switch from 4g to 3g, the desire to watch porn while on the internet decreases considerably. and when using 4g internet there seem to be a significantly higher intensity of urges. anybody else feel that ? i think the 4g radiation might somehow increase urges by...

Does anyone know of some good resources for breaking internet addiction? I've just started a streak, and I've found the advice on this platform really helpful so far. That being said, I feel like one of the underlying issues causing my addiction to porn is just general overuse of the internet...

Hey guys, have a look what I have found in a French internet café (attached photo). Obviously they had problems with some addicts like us (or as we have been before meeting at NoFap)

In my case the main source of porn is my mobile phone. I know that nofap is all about commitment, but some have stronger wills than others. Therefore, I managed to eliminate from my phone all browser leaving only SPIN, a secure browser. As I think it may help some of you, I leave the two options...

I am going through the longest streak.I now have serious temptaion to watch instagram models as well as other celebrity,P. Is there any way to stop this urge.also I cant control my emotions....HELP!!!!!

This story is crazy. It sounds like the wife wanted CE but the husband didn't. "We definitely had a guy who would call in to get us to disable it...and his wife calling in to be like DO NOT TURN THIS OFF, [The] user continuously called us to have us do system restores to wipe out the software...

So, I've seen a bunch of guys on here talking about how they used to compulsively download vast libraries of porn (more than they could ever watch) as a sort of hoarding instinct. I have in the past sort of skirted around this, because while I might download lots, I have tended to delete it...

I swear that any time I spend time on the computer I get restless legs. I'm already in serious nofap withdrawal and am limiting my EMF exposure for this reason. Apparently EMF radiation poses certain health risks. From what I've read online Steve Jobs prevented his kids from spending too much...

Relapses after relapses after relapses, one minute im feeling kind of confident, another minute im doubting myself and feeling like im going to remain a porn induced pervert for the rest of my life. I need motivation, I need guidance, I hate wasting my time with the internet but yet here I am, I...

Alright so what’s up guys and girls. I have a serious real quick question I’ve decided to do the PO and MO hard mode 90 day challenge. I’m officially on day 16 as of today but I feel I’ve already relapsed just by looking and reading material such as Red Sonja, Lady Death and Vampirella. I love...

Relevant for UK users on NoFap In April this year, a new law will be introduced for internet providers nationwide to putting on a restriction on pornographic content. As far as I'm concerned this is great news. Because I feel that society is cottoning onto how much harm porn is doing to...

Yesterday ive got a security alert message from Google for suspecting new activity. ive verified that i got the message from an authorized source. last account activity or last synced with a newer windows device. but it shows my usual IP address and ISP.. also, i found one thing strange...

Ive been using youtube since 10 years from now on.. i was really got frustrated by using youtube... too many ads, too many irrevelent videos sometimes it promotes disturbing and crazy stuff going on.. so from now on im going to take a oath to uninstall following apps from my phone such as...

Hi guys, wanted to share something with you all. I started NOFAP a week ago, because of my sP addiction issues, and problematic sexual behaviour and other problems in life. As much as i have seen that this program does people good, i am not gonna log in for 2 months. Why? Because one of my main...

I will start working soon on a research displaining the connection between the arrival of fast internet, the augment of needed dopamine and so the increased use of drugs/alchol. I believe we nofappers are going to be the safe part of the new society and from there i'd really want you all to help...

Hey guys. Ooh internet, everything is there, no ending material of all kind of content. So this means that there are some useful, good stuff for us and there are harmful ones too. Let's talk about Porn from that perspective. It's pleasurable, easy access material. You can just watch it for...

I continued on my nofap journey for 5 days till today. I'm not blaming internet but I'm blaming myself. I started nofap after recognising how adversely fapping affected me. I had a strong will and restrained from the internet most of the time because wasting my time on YouTube made my mind...

"Every moralist is a pornographer", wrote Brazilian play-writer Nelson Rodrigues. It is correct to afirm that our "hypersexualised" society is not getting laid. At the same time, the world is becoming more conservative and less humane. In reality, the visible increasing of porn addiction, as we...

I am without broadband for the last month so i had no instant gratification online video content provides. It really shoved to me how addicted i was to internet. And still am. It faced me to my lack of social skills and the problem of lack of life in my life. So i thought about dialing down my...

I know its helpful and brings a lot of information which can help you conquer this addiction.But for me internet is one of the main reasons why i relapse. I can control urges but a lot of relapses happen because I start to look for images ,video clips,commercials wit sexual content or just...

Hi fellow fapstronauts, has anyone tried cutting yourself off from the internet when doing reboot? If yes, how did it go? I'm thinking of doing it for 90 days, but didn't quite figure out how to do my work without connection.

The title isn't that accurate, I don't know how to describe it in a single sentence. You know, that theres loads of porn and sexual content on the internet.You can watch/listen/see everything you want, a teenage boy has most likely seen more private parts of a women in one week than his grandpa...

I have just realized how my porn use was used as a sleep aid. The orgasm is the downer and the internet use is the upper. So I'm finding now that I'm rebooting and not jerking off, using the computer after 10pm guarantees that I won't be able to sleep. As a matter of fact, I haven't been on the...

I spend a lot of time playing video games in the computer since i was 12 years, before that i was super social n shit, the thing begin when i move on from my city (that i had a lot of friends), so I felt very alone and starts to spend all my day in my room in the computer, like a escapism from...

Hey folks, I'd like to share with you a very effective tip that has helped me stay away from porn for months now. Try installing k9 web filter on your pcs and while putting up a password for It, make sure to think up a random number then and there and write it down on a piece of paper and store...

It all started in 6th grade. 2010. 11 years old. I first masturbated until I came. It felt good but the build up to orgasm was scary and unexpected. I never experienced anything like that before. I would go on to do it more and more, eventually getting over my fear of the intense build up...

On a thirty day run of no P. About to move into own room out of family home and hoping for some advice of a technical nature. I am getting a new phone from work this week and looking for advice on a really good way of blocking access to keep the temptation away and at least to make me think...

I don't know if I'm addicted to internet, but 3 days without any electronics could in my opinion be at least an experience worth trying, if not also have some benefits with it. What do you think about this? Should I do a Digital Detox Challange, and if yes, are you in?

Just relapsed after 5 days, and it was caused by a Twitter image. It led me to a porn site eventually (obviously not directly). It got me thinking, I've had loads and loads of relapses caused by images I've seen on Twitter, and I wondered: maybe I should delete my account and come off Twitter...

Hi, I am new to the forum. Im 38 years old. When I was younger in my teens it was the 90s, an interesting time to be alive. I can remember my first porno being some 70s porn movie that a friend gave to me. My mother found it, and my parents decided to sit me down for a talk. In honesty they...

At the moment, my internet restrictions are proper heavy, like I can only visit about 6 sites (NoFap included) on every one of my devices, and this morning I'm just wondering: do I really need these restrictions? Yesterday I found a way around them anyway, because I charged my old Ipod touch...

Okay, first of all, as far as I'm aware there is no such software available that does this, but I have an awesome idea that would be really handy, and it's a shame it doesn't exist. it would be cool if there was a software that you could store keywords that you might use to look for P or Psubs...

Alright, so on my Amazon Wish List, I have some Paperbacks I wish for, like "You Are Not Your Brain" by Jeffrey Schwartz and "What Everybody is Saying" by Joe Navarro. Some of them, I thought, would be a good addition to my fight against PMO, yet part of me wants to free up the number of items...

Hey folks, I found this a few days ago, and it radically changed my suspectibility when browsing. I am now able to remove ALL images from ALL webpages and searches completely. Any websites you wish to make exceptions for, you can do it easily. And it takes time to disable (sorry, it is not...

So I've been using web protection software for a few weeks now and it seems to work but I have slipped up finding loopholes which I then close. But what do you guys thing? is web protection a good factor in NoFap?

How long do you think you'd last? What wold it take for you to quit? Would you miss me?

Does anyone have any tips for focusing on work and generally breaking internet/electronics addiction? My problem right now is that i sit down at the computer to do homework (I'm swamped right now by an AP class), but I easily get derailed by news, youtube, etc. On my phone as well, except on my...

So I've just started this whole reboot thing because I only just realised that I had to get off to porn when I was on cam doing the deed with my SO. That's when I realised I had PIED. So it says to ban myself from artificial stimuli. Would that include doing things with my SO online? We met...

Update: I read another thread in this forum where one user said vents should be saved for journals if you want commiseration rather than advice. I agree. Will follow through next time. Apologies. The thought of writing this was making me sad but now I feel better. Don't hold this stuff in...

Hey guys, So, as my username suggests, my name is Eric. I have to be honest about something though. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a Jedi. I wanted to confess that and get it off of my chest. The truth is I'm a Star Trek fan. Anyways, I found you guys through someone's comment on a...

I don't know if this is the right place to write this, but i must try. This my problem: i don't use my pc for porn because my parents some time need it. So i use my smartphone and i can find everything on that and it's hard to stop because i live with my phone: i have e-mails, ebay, amazon...

Hello NOFAP, So I have been here before. I joined a group, did group activities, got involved in the community... etc. And then I relapsed after about 3 months. Why? Don't remember, as it was over a year ago. Ever since then, quitting was a fleeting dream for me. I just gave in to the dark...
